Hello Brother and Sisters,

I hope you are all doing well.

Every Auxiliary Conductor at some point will need to Drape the Charter for a fellow Auxiliary member who has passed on. It is important to read through the ritual and become familiar with how to accomplish this with respect and dignity. The ceremony can be found in the By-Laws and Ritual Book 2025 on pages 90 - 91 (Green Cover)

Draping the Charter is the first order of New Business.

Before the meeting:

·         Make sure you know how to say the name of the member.

·         Coordinate with the Chaplain the floor work involved.

·         Make sure you have the Drape ready.

·         Send around a sympathy card to forward to the family.

After the Draping

·         If time allows, ask if members want to share a story in honor of the deceased member.

The Drape will remain on the Charter for 30 Days for an Auxiliary. The Drape remains on the Charter until the close of the convention for District, Department, and National
